Something Positive: BRIAN DAWKINS

Not only is he my favorite player, but after all of these years, B-Dawk has earned his place as a Philadelphia sports icon. Every team needs at least one player like Dawkins: He genuinely loves the sport (rare these days), is a student of the game and hits bigger than he is. In short, the town loves him because he's the consummate Eagle of this generation of players.

There was little news on this last week after the win over Dallas, but B-Dawk became the Philly Eagle to play in the most wins in franchise history (87 wins), surpassing the great Chuck Bednarik, the consummate Eagle of his own generation.

Let's hope B-Dawk will play another 10 seasons for us.
